Octagon All Purpose Laundry Bar Soap by Colgate - 7 Oz

Octagon All Purpose Laundry Bar Soap by Colgate - 7 OzI just saw this soap about a month or so ago at the grocery store and thought I'd try it. I keep it in the kitchen by the sink. It has been so handy. I shave off bits to do the dishes. I wash up with it, even after gardening, and it is wonderful. It also keeps two young active boys clean and that is enough of an endorsement! I have used it to pre-treat laundry, wash counters, scrub pans. I could go on and on (and have) but this soap is just great to have around. I am glad I was curious. I have read it treats acne too!

When I was a kid my Mamaw sent Papaw to the store to buy a bar of Octagon Soap after I had been out in the woods on their farm all day. She told me to wash any parts that were exposed while I was in the woods and I wouldn't break out in poison ivy, which happened to me every time. Sure enough she was right. The juice from poison ivy adheres to your skin really well and this soap will wash it right off and usually prevent a rash if you don't wait too long to use it (no more than a few hours).

This stuff is an all around good product. With many uses. Anything that you could come up with it will work on. You can use it to clean household things, wash dishes, or even treat your acne ridden skin. Its a great product. I remember as a child at my grannies house using this soap to bathe with every night after being out side all day and playing. Its a great product give it a try it won't cost you much, And it almost lasts a lifetime. I have had mine for some time now and only gone through about 1 inch worth of it. You just slice a sliver off and keep going.

I think the soap works wonderfully. I use it to get stains out of clothing, especially ring around the collar; I love the feeling of being squeaky clean, so I even shower with it. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the price. $10 for this soap is a rip-off. I was so excited that I found it on Amazon first, that I immediately assumed that this was the best price. However, after doing a little research. This soap can be found as low as .99 cents. 1000% mark up is a little absurd.

I bought this so I could have non-liquid soap in my suitcase to use for washing laundry. I like to pack in carry-on's so I can only have so much liquid. This is perfect and worked very well last week on my trip to mexico.

Crabtree & Evelyn Jojoba Oil Triple-Milled Bath Soap Sampler Gift (4x50g)

Crabtree & Evelyn Jojoba Oil Triple-Milled Bath Soap Sampler GiftI bought the 4 bar gift set. When going to a friend's for lunch, I bring one of the four as a hostess gift. Is always well-received.

I like this soap because it is mild, has a nice clean scent (not overly perfumed and cloying) that works for men and women and it lasts a long time. My sister came to visit me in the UK and after using my soap, she asked for me to send her some so I was able to order it from Amazon US. As with any soap, if you unwrap it and let it dry out completely before using, it will last for a long long time.

Chandrika Chandrika Soap

Chandrika Chandrika SoapI have used this soap for well over 10 years and it still remains my favorite. While Chandrika Ayurvedic soap is handmade using no animal products, it's intoxicating and fragrant scent along with its outstanding properties as a soap are what have made me a fan for so many years. It never dries your skin yet cleans your skin completely. The packaging is also a big part of my love for this product. Each bar is stamped on both sides with an imprint and individually wrapped in clear cellophane wrapper which is then wrapped with a folded parchment sheet printed on both sides with the soap's 9 ingredients (coconut oil making up over 66%). At the bottom of the paper wrapper it states "Always Use CHANDRIKA Ensure your Personal charm." I hope you will give it a try. It's a magical little item that is inexpensive, but wonderful.

The smell is great. Does wonders for the skin. Being ayurvedic it treats many skin ailments too.

I love this soap. I have been using chandrika soap for about 8 months now. This soap keeps ones face smooth and young looking. My nephew has skin problems. He is 11 years old. Since he has been using chandrika he does not have skin problems. He loves this soap. This soap leaves one feeling fresh. I just love it.

I first started using this soap when I went to Thailand back in January of 2008. I wanted something small with a fresh scent (and of course, natural!). In the winter, I tend to purchase other soaps with more moisturizing qualities but in the summer, I like the scent of the Chandrika. However, to the reviewer that mentioned the soap burns his/her face...I wouldn't be surprised if that's due to the sodium hydroxide aka caustic soda aka lye. I wish they'd find a replacement for this one ingredient and I'd be sold for life. In Chandrika's defense, lye has been used in soap making forever and so I guess it's fairly safe in this form. Wish I had more time to research the matter. For now, I'll continue to use it in the summer as I enjoy it's fragrance very much and it doesn't dry out my skin.

I have been using Chandrika soap for more than 20 years. At one point, during that bleak historical period known as "pre-Internet," I was living in a small town and had to order an absurdly large amount (60 or 80 bars) from a distributor to have any at all. This is the only soap that I can use on my back to prevent itching, acne, and exzema. It is kind to my face, too. If you have delicate or problem skin, this may be the solution for you.

Mistral Shea Butter Soap, 7-Ounce Bar

Mistral Shea Butter Soap, Gardenia, 7-Ounce BarI love Mistral soaps, but I typically use them as sachets, not soap. I've had a bar of Tuberose soap in with our sheets for two years (one bar for that entire time), and every time I pull out a clean set of sheets they are wonderfully scented with rose. The orange/green fig soap is in with our towels and I love that as well. Gardenia is one of my favorite scents, but I like that one most as a personal soap or in their shea butter hand cream. So many soaps and creams have a weird chemical smell or are sickeningly sweet; these Mistral scents smell like real flowers and fruits.

This is my favorite soap in the world. A new bar will scent my bathroom for weeks, and the scent lingers on my skin as well. The soap is gentle and long-lasting. I recommend it highly.

Buy Mistral Shea Butter Soap, 7-Ounce Bar Now

I'm an admitted soap snob so I've probably tried just about every soap there is. Mistral soap is right up there with the best.

First of all I have to mention the customer service. I had bought another brand of soap that came in a very pleasing scent combo that Mistral didn't offer. I emailed Mistral's customer service asking them to consider making it. I got a reply right away and after a few email exchanges was told they would see what could be done. I like that--being responsive to the customer.

What do I like about the soap? For one thing, the size. It's huge at 7 oz. I also like the scents offered: Very pleasing combinations that stay on the skin in a subtle way once you rinse and dry. Best of all is how it lathers up on the skin and once rinsed off leaves no residue. It does leave the skin soft.

I received a bar of Mistral Lychee Rose for a birthday gift. I have since bought several bars and utilize it almost daily. Normally, I mix between gels, bars, etc... for a different shower experience. No more! I found the Mistral bars to be long lasting, don't split or crack and carry the same strength of fragrance to the last sliver. The value and the overall shower experience outweighs the cost for me.

Mistral orange blossom and green fig shea butter soap is the most wonderful fragrance and a harder one to find in shops that stock the soap line. That is what led me to Amazon. Usually I buy soley flower frgrances but this wonderfully rich non drying soap leaves a wonderful clean floral non cloying fragrance on my skin and in the bathroom that both women and men would like. The bar also lasts along time.

Madina Brand Skin Lightening Soap 4.75 oz

Madina Brand Skin Lightening Soap 4.75 ozI tryed this soap two month ago an my skin is radiant an glowing you should try it all over not just on your face

Great soap. Just use it everyday and within 2 weeks you will see dramatic results. Being consistent is the key.

Buy Madina Brand Skin Lightening Soap 4.75 oz Now

Hello,

I work within the pharmaceutical field and I think that there is a misconception about the "Madina Lightening Soap". The soap itself is "not" what the title implies. It is "not" a "lightening", "Whitening", and/or "Bleaching" soap. It "will not" correct Hyperpigmentation and the like. While some reviews on the internet have claimed that it has "lightened" their skin, it is just not possible. For those persons, The Mind Is A Powerful tool..............

I even went as far as calling the owner of the Madina Industral Corporation, and he told me the same "there is NO lightening ingredients in it to actually lighten skin"..... While I have used this soap, it is a good soothing, cleaning, and afterglow soap.

For those looking to actually "lighten", "whiten", and/or change ones Melanin within the skin....one will need to do some real research, as some the chemicals in the actual "lightening/whitening" soaps/lotions/creams can be dangerous, carcenogenic or actually make the skin "thick" or way to "thin".

I am writing this just to help those be safe, and to use your money wisely, and to know what you are really looking for.

I have been doing my own research to find the soap that helps my dry as the desert skin. I have tried all of the Nubian Heritage soaps, Canus Milk soaps, Castile soaps and several hand made soaps and this is my favorite. While the Canus is very good and my second favorite, I love this soap. Since I am very white I can't speak to the lightening part of the program, but Madina leaves my dry skin feeling very moisturized. Love the smell too. I use it as a bath soap. I do not use it on my face.

Salt, Lemons, Vinegar, and Baking Soda

Salt, Lemons, Vinegar, and Baking SodaI got this book a couple weeks before Christmas and it is absolutely wonderful. It's chalk-full with all kinds of interesting and simple recipes to take care of all your daily needs. Everything from fabric softener in your wash, to pest control, to household cleaning. It's all here. I was amazed at how many different cleaners I could get rid of in place of these four simple ingredients.

This book is well-organized and indexed. It contains many helpful tips for using the four titular items (plus a few others such as essential oils) for household cleaners. I've already put the sweat-stain remover tip and the hairbrush cleaner tip to use. I anticipate the gradual weaning of my dependence on commercial cleaners, which is frugal and at least makes me feel as if I'm making an environmental difference. A great boom to have around the house or to give to an Eco-conscious friend.

Aquasentials Soap Dish (3 Pack)

Aquasentials Soap DishI was looking for a simple wood soap dish that wouldn't break the bank and I ordered these because the price for the 3-pack was about equal that of one of other similar products. I wasn't expecting much, but was actually pleasantly surprised when I received the soap dishes. They are very simple just a few wooden slats glued to one another but the minimalistic look is pretty nice. The wood has a light lacquer of some sort on it, which is perfect as I keep my soap in the shower. I even held it under water just to test the efficacy of the lacquer: the wood still looks perfect and the glue is holding just fine.

The reason I gave it only four stars is that on two of my dishes the slats aren't aligned quite right and are somewhat crooked. This doesn't change the functionality of the soap dish at all, but it distracts from the aesthetics, especially if you are OCD like me.

Overall, these are pretty nice soap dishes, especially if you are looking for wood or ones that can survive a shower environment, and you can't go wrong with the price.

These are wonderful little soap dishes. I make my own soap and it is important for it to dry in between using and this dish does the job. They are not top notch quality but for the price they more than do their job. I would say that the quality is by far greater than what I paid for them. So I am happy.

price is perfect, shipping was fast, item looks elegantly simple if you like bamboo and simplicity. Great for travel. Lightweight. It is cheap enough to throw out and replace when it gets soap scum (like all soap dishes do) But it is easy to clean and reuse if you want to be environmentally conscious and conservative. I use a scrub brush and just brush the soap flakes out and it is good as new. It never gets mildew.

If you use shampoo bars this is a must! I've always had dandruff and no matter what I'd try it never went away. Dandruff shampoos only made it worse and I didn't know what to do. I happened upon some natural, organic shampoo bars on amazon and discovered that my scalp was just chemical sensitive. However, like soap bars, shampoo bars will dissolve and not last very long if they set in water after you use them.

These little soap savers are perfect for the shampoo bars. Since they're made of wood, they naturally pull out some of the moisture and they also allow the bars to dry faster. Since they come in a pack of 3 you can have some different types of bars to use to mix things up. I'd definitely recommend!

Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps Pure-Castile Soap, All-One Hemp Eucalyptus, 5-Ounce Bars (Pack of 6)

Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps Pure-Castile Soap, All-One Hemp Eucalyptus, 5-Ounce BarsMy brother has used Dr. B's for years. I thought it was just some kind of goofy granola bar, hippie gimmick until I decided to try it for myself. I'm in love. From the beautiful eucalyptus scent, to the creamy smooth lather, to the way it completely rinses away, I am amazed. Okay this is coming from a Dial user, so you would think anything of quality would seem great by comparison but really this stuff is unbelievable. My wife suffers from dry skin and used Dove until she tried Dr. B's now she's hooked too. She even noticed the clearing of her eczema. And at Amazon's price you can't beat the value. To top it all off it's organic and Fair-Trade responsible.

I absolutely LOVE this soap, for all the reasons mentioned by others, but also another that no one seems to notice. The eucalyptus soap has fabulous mosquito-repelling properties!!! Mosquitos normally eat me alive in the first 30 seconds of being outside, but if I have showered with this eucalyptus soap, they don't touch me. And I am one of those people that has unsuccessfully tried many things to repel mosquitos: repellent spray, eating garlic, taking extra B1, etc. This soap is my savior from those blood-sucking little jerks!!!

I really wanted a bar soap that I could use for all washing in the shower including hair. I was highly skeptical and figured theres no way it would make a good shampoo but tried it anyway, it lathered in my hair extremely well, but when rinsed it did feel as if it stripped all the natural oil and though oh no it's gonna cause dry itchy scalp, but after I conditioned that squeaky stripped feeling completely went away and after my hair dried it was perfectly fine, not dry at all.. So to my surprise this soap worked as a shampoo! And this eucalyptus scent is amazing! It's very warm and spicy, which I love. Ps aside from a shampoo I also used this all over the rest of my body including my face and used it to shave, it was just great all around. Maybe if more people buy it, the price will go down?! Lol buy it!

Best soap I've used. Leaves skin feeling clean without harsh and environmental-harming chemicals and sudsing agents. Only downside is the smell Eucalyptus. You either like it or you don't, I suppose. I've tried peppermint, almond, and tea tree and prefer all those to eucalyptus. But if this smell is your thing, then go for it!

A Wild Soap Bar-Wild Soap Sampler

A Wild Soap Bar-Wild Soap SamplerI've never bought these on amazon. In fact I haven't seen them in a long time but I used to buy this soap from a store on ebay. It would have seemed I had spoken (exchanged email) with the owner herself? Very Nice lady.

Anyway, this soap is Sooo Good!! It's been a while, but I'll never forget how lovely it smelled.....oh! was it ever scrumptious!! I've tried all but two in this set and a bunch of others and I just loved them all. Whoever makes these soaps has a signature style that is very unique to the soaper; the blends of herbs & essential oils are not the common find which I found interesting and appealing. I love the rustic look & smooth feel of the bars well, they were smooth unless they contained clays. Can you tell I love handcrafted, natural soaps? For those who might wonder they were nice hard bars that lasted about a month between my husband and I & They also make your bathroom smell Wonderful!!. I really enjoyed using this soap in case you didn't notice.

Hope this review is helpful to someone who loves natural soap and might be interested in buying this. It really is good stuff!! Buy it, you'll like it!!

The soap was very high quality, and my wife specifically commented that it didn't leave her skin feeling oily like a lot of other boutique soaps do. The lather is nice, and it rinses clean.

It didn't bother my skin at all, which I have to be careful of.

So far so good, right? So why only 3/5 stars?

The soap is packaged with the bricks all directly against each other, and by the time the soap got to us, you couldn't tell one scent from another. Once you got through a good 1/4 to 1/2 of a particular bar (when all of the stuff "contaminated" by its neighbors got used up, I presume) you could start to smell its unique fragrance, but by that time you're so used to having it on you that it's about time to switch it up anyway.

I think it would help if they'd throw a piece of wax paper or something between each bar.

This sampler is a great way to try a variety of soaps you may not have used before. Also great as 'guest soaps' when a full bar of soap simply won't do. Unusual shape lends a very rustic feel to an otherwise routine item. Be mindful of the picture. These are NOT full size bars of soap. You and your guests will love the variety and quality of this sampler. Enjoy!

Kirk's Original Coco Castile Bar Soap

Castile Soap Original 4 OuncesMy search for the perfect soap is completely over! Kirks Original Castile Soap is the best you can buy! I truly do not care for wacky body soaps with scents. They never seem to get your skin clean.

Several friends kept telling me that this was the best however no one around here sells it so I was never able to try it. I just happened upon it in Cracker Barrel and picked up a bar.

Oh my! The lather was unbelievable! The scent was clean and not overpowering! My skin felt nourished and clean! I even washed my hair with it and it left a clean shine to my hair. It was an answer to a prayer years in the making from a search for the perfect soap. No more will I buy anything else!

If you buy this by the case unwrap each bar and store them in you linen closet. The longer soap sits out to "dry" the longer it lasts. Most soap is milled and used too quickly to properly dry. It will make your closet smell fresh plus the soap will properly dry and cure. Dry soap will last several more months than soap that is not dry.

Do yourself a favor and start using this soap! Some people even make their laundry soap with Kirks Original Castile Soap.

As a long time user of natural soap I simply refuse to pay the price for Dr. Bronners or Tom's of Maine. These cost way too much. So the other options are Kirk's Castille Soap or Cal-Ben Five Star Soap. Also several brands of clear glycerine soaps are available, but these don't lather very well. I bought both Kirk's and Cal-Ben and tried them out. Both are excellent and very similar. Cal-Ben is 3 oz compared to Kirk's 4 oz but it seems harder and more compressed, thus longer lasting. They both lather up about the same amount. Kirk's has an Ivory type smell where the Cal-Ben has an extremely nice almond scent. The Cal-Ben seems to cut through dirt a little better. Kirk's is a nice soap but I give Cal-Ben the edge. Both cost about the same.

I have very sensitive skin, in addition to a condition known as keratosis pilaris, commonly called chicken skin. An uncurable condition that causes unsightly small red bumps on the arms, torso, and legs. Most cleansers and skin care products only aggravate this condition. Over the years, I have tried nearly every skin cleanser on the market in an attempt to find one that calms it, only to be disappointed time after time. Then I found Kirk's Castile soap. After only a few months, my keratosis has been significantly reduced, and I couldn't be happier. This soap is mild, lightly scented, and lathers into an almost creamy density. It's also the best facial cleanser I've ever used, and I'm prone to acne breakouts. It is perfect for those with or without skin conditions. Simply put, it's the best soap out there. Period. Wish I would have found it years ago.

i'm not a snob. i'm just a regular joe. i don't drink cristal or stay in 12-star hotels or sleep on 5-million thread count sheets. but since i used this soap several years ago on a whim, i've never used anything else.

this soap makes handfuls of creamy lather and cleans grime better than most bar soaps. it rinses off cleanly and leaves behind a very mild, clean scent. i even travel with it, leaving a bar behind when i check out of the motel or leave a friend's house.

there are two possible downsides to this fantastic soap: first, it is a very 'soft' soap, meaning it dissolves quickly. if you leave it on the little soap shelf in the stream of the shower, it will disappear way before its time. second, it can irritate very young, tender skin if it's not rinsed promptly. keeping these qualities in mind, this is the only soap in my world. so i guess i'm a soap snob? so be it.

notethere's a liquid version of this soap, and it's good but not as good as the bars.
